Ascension-
The End of the beginning
Part three of four
John 13- verse 1
"Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to
leave this world and go to the Father. Having
loved his own who were in the world, he loved them
to the end."
And then came the hard part.
Well resigned to a fate he saw
coming, Sananda/Jesus did three things to prepare
himself and those around him. He first came to to
the house where Lazarus lived where a dinner was
being prepared in his honor six days before the
festival of Passover in Bethany. There he told the
crowd that had gathered, "Anyone who loves their
life will lose it, while anyone who hates their
life in this world will keep it for eternal life."
Without spelling it out exactly, he was letting
them know that ascending to a higher dimension
takes a love of this third dimensional life and
all those in it for only in the service of others
can one even consider moving on.
Next was the Last Supper, the
hardest of the three because of his foreknowledge
of events to come. He was soon to break the bonds
holding himself and the disciples together and
knew all of them would be deeply affected,
especially Judas Iscariot. Here too he stressed
the importance of self-sacrifice and caring for
others when he said " My command is this: Love
each other as I have loved you. Greater love has
no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s
friends." Plainly spoken so there would be no
misunderstanding, the simple rules of karma were
laid out as a path for salvation from an eternity
spent on the third dimension. His fulfillment of
the scriptures was nearly finished but one last
preparation was left. That took place when Jesus
and his disciples crossed over the Kidron Valley
and came to the Mount of Olives where he would
also make his ascension after his death.
Having first prepared the
people and then his disciples, he now prepared
himself as he prayed for strength. There in the
Garden of Gethsemane, he was led away to his
inevitable crucifixion where, betrayed, denied and
despised, the whole of humanity's darker side
literally came down upon his head. With acceptance
of his fate complete, he stoically faced it unto
the end and, committed to the fulfilling the
scriptures, he appeared after his crucifixion to
his eleven gathered disciples where he told them,
"This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer
and rise from the dead on the third day". He was
back.
Reminding people of the
fallibility of believing that death is the end all
and be all and that he hadn't really gone
anywhere, his 10th-dimensional existence allows
him even now to split into infinite realities. The
physical vehicle is only one aspect that makes us
who we are. Beyond that is a world of wonder where
Jesus Christ had returned to being Sananda, a
higher dimensional example we can choose to make
us who we are.
